Last night we ordered our new bedroom furniture, and just a couple of hours ago we ordered new furniture for LittleDude. We’ll be waiting on deliveries both tomorrow and Saturday. Good thing we’ve still got stuff to do in the house — SoundGuy wants us to spend our first night in the new […]

Rooms are painted, two bedrooms are furnished. The move of telephone service, DSL, and DirecTV has been arranged. Today I’ll stay at the old house and pack up the kitchen (we’re not using it, anyway), tonight we buy furniture for the other two bedrooms.
Today’s post is short, since there’s nothing really interesting to […]

Most people christen a boat with a bottle of champagne across the bow. In my family, houses are christened with my body across a ladder.
We’re getting closer and closer to furniture moving time. All of the second floor at the new house is painted now. Well, except for the bathrooms, and we […]

You all had yesterday’s Messed Up Tune right — “When Doves Cry” by Prince. He was still Prince back then, wasn’t he? Congrats to all of you who surprised yourselves by recognizing the song. And if you thought it was too easy…you have to agree, the translation was hilarious, wasn’t it?
I hope […]

When I said busy days ahead, I wasn’t kidding! We’ve gone into overdrive with the house…matter of fact, when I finish posting this, I’ll go back to packing. Then after MiniMe’s soccer game this afternoon (the second one this weekend), the kids and I will be meeting SoundGuy over at the house for […]

Bet you’re wondering about that post title, aren’t you? I haven’t done a search term post in a long while, and since I’m sure you want more than just daily updates of what’s going on with the move, I thought I’d do one today. Maybe it’s a little bit of a cop-out, […]

I just got back from the dentist — this one was an easy appointment. But the next two are going to be tough. Especially the one I have in a week and a half — my first round of gum flap surgery. The dental assistant kept assuring me it sounded worse than […]

Did somebody say busy? Add frustrating (traffic) and exhausting (long day) to the list, and you have my day yesterday.
You know, I lived in Broward County, Florida and worked in Palm Beach County, Florida for years, and I thought rush hour traffic there was really bad. Thought they had the market cornered on […]

We received word yesterday that the sellers vacated the house early (we’d given them a week because the closing on their new house fell after ours). Today they’re having the carpets cleaned, then the realtor does a walk-thru. After that, we’re in. So, the painting starts, followed by the actual moving. […]

The adventure has begun.
That’s how I look at the moving process — as an adventure. Always have. Growing up, my family moved around quite a bit — at most every year, although we stayed in one place three years — and I ended up with some defense mechanisms as a result. I […]

It’s been a busy weekend — we’re heavy in preparations for the move. But I couldn’t let Sunday go by without taking a short break from my drudgery to post this week’s Messed Up Tune.
The rules:

Got more conflict brainstorming done yesterday, and I think I have a good start on a viable external conflict for Rebecca. Even managed to work out a large portion of the story thread for that conflict. However, considering my state of mind, it’ll probably be a good idea for me to go back […]
